Digital communication environments in the workplace
2019
Digital communication environments consist of various kinds of communication technologies and collaboration platforms. These enable employees to communicate through text, audio, video, and graphics, often in an open and networked way. Complementing the popular stand-alone communication tools regularly used in workplaces, such as email and instant messaging, digital communication environments enable the sharing, editing, and storing of information publicly within the organization and sometimes externally among its stakeholders. This chapter reviews and analyzes digital communication environments as well as their affordances and constraints for communication and social interaction in the work…
An Application of Iterative Identification and Control in the Robotics Field
2006
The plant model appropriate for designing the control strongly depends on the requirements. Simple models are enough to compute nondemanding controls. The parameters of well-defined structural models of flexible robot manipulators are difficult to determine because their effect is only visible if the manipulator is under strong actions or with high-frequency excitation. Thus, in this chapter, an iterative approach is suggested. This approach is applied to a one-degree-of-freedom flexible robot manipulator, first using some well-known models and then controlling a lab prototype. This approach can be used with a variety of control design and/or identification techniques.
Examining Sources of Farmers’ Knowledge as a Premise Behind Realization of the Smart Village Conception. A Case Study of Opole Region
2019
The aim of the study is to point to the need of doing research on the system of agricultural knowledge and information as a premise behind realization of the conception of smart village in the territorial framework. Accepting the assumption that intelligent agriculture lies at the foundation of transformation of rural areas, the author indicates the role of the system of agricultural knowledge and information in the process of modernization of agricultural holdings. In the article, questionnaire-based survey research was used in relation to the sustainable development of agriculture in Opole Region. In order to assess the level of adaptation of agricultural holdings to economy based on know…
Mirror symmetry and toric degenerations of partial flag manifolds
1998
In this paper we propose and discuss a mirror construction for complete intersections in partial flag manifolds $F(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$. This construction includes our previous mirror construction for complete intersection in Grassmannians and the mirror construction of Givental for complete flag manifolds. The key idea of our construction is a degeneration of $F(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$ to a certain Gorenstein toric Fano variety $P(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$ which has been investigated by Gonciulea and Lakshmibai. We describe a natural small crepant desingularization of $P(n_1, ..., n_l, n)$ and prove a generalized version of a conjecture of Gonciulea and Lakshmibai on the singular locus of $P(n_1, ..., n…
Elīzijas lietošanas variācijas analīze Borisa Džonsona un Žistēna Trido runās
2022
Veidojot saistītu runu, jāņem vērā, ka bieži vien vairāk tiek uzsvērts konkrētās runas konteksts, nevis pareizas gramatikas un izrunas īpatnības. Šādās runās var novērot daudzas saistītās runas īpatnības atkarībā no runātāja emocionalitātes, attieksmes pret konkrētās runas ideju, valodas variācijām, runas tempa, intonācijas utt. Šajā pētījumā galvenā uzmanība pievērsta runas iezīmei elīzija, kas rodas, ja saistītās runas veidošanas laikā tiek izlaista kāda skaņa. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt saistītās runas pazīmes - elīzijas īpatnības, vēsturiskos un mūsdienu aspektus un analizēt šīs pazīmes sastopamības variācijas Lielbritānijas un Kanādas premjerministru runās, ņemot vērā runas formalit…
ANALISI PROSODICO DELL’ITALIANO PARLATO PER SPAGNOLI: IL CASO DELLE INTERROGATIVE POLARI
2011
[EN] In this work we propose to present the prosodic features characteristic of the interrogatives yes/no of the spanish who learned italian as a foreign language. The two varieties considered for evaluation are the Italian variety of Venice, Madrid and the Spanish variety. Both have already been studied in the past, however, as far as I know, this is the first study that systematically puts compared in a comprehensive way. This description of the transfer is strongest fundamental in education for the teachers involved in teaching Italian as a foreign language are aware of the fact that the L1 prosodic features are very strong and difficult subject to conscious control of the speaker. In th…
Towards human cell simulation
2019
The faithful reproduction and accurate prediction of the phe-notypes and emergent behaviors of complex cellular systems are among the most challenging goals in Systems Biology. Although mathematical models that describe the interactions among all biochemical processes in a cell are theoretically feasible, their simulation is generally hard because of a variety of reasons. For instance, many quantitative data (e.g., kinetic rates) are usually not available, a problem that hinders the execution of simulation algorithms as long as some parameter estimation methods are used. Though, even with a candidate parameterization, the simulation of mechanistic models could be challenging due to the extr…
Satiety in face of variety: On sensory-specific satiety and perceived food variety
2013
Sensory-specific satiety (SSS) is the relative decrease in sensory pleasure derived from a specific food or drink with its consumption. Such satiation does not require ingestion, but hinges on exposure to a given flavour. As it affects meal termination, it is important in determining overall intake. Variety in a meal or dish undermines SSS and promotes consumption of the meal. In the present study, the hypothesis that the mere presentation and suggestion of food variety can undermine SSS was examined in a sample of 92 undergraduate students. All participants ate several bite-sized servings of a test food to induce SSS, but participants in the experimental group were shown another food durin…
Practical Applications of Models of Oxygen Supply, Diffusion, and Consumption
1996
It is the objective of this paper to describe, what models of oxygen supply, diffusion, and consumption have been and can be used for and to discuss some common problems in employing mathematical models of O2 transport. In a first part, four typical fields for model applications are selected from the wide variety of former investigations and are illustrated with some recent examples.
CONCEPTUAL MODEL IN INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION
2018
Integrated marketing communications are developing, with IMC approaches to communication with consumers seeing further enhancements in the scientific literature. However, in order to reach the marketing targets, a variety of IMC tools may be used in combination when implementing marketing activities. Despite each IMC tool in itself being highly distinctive, they all depend on each other in the creation of product consumption value and the enhancement of economic, communicational and social benefits. Purpose of the paper: The goal of the research is to assess the integrated marketing communications used in the marketing strategy of Latvian food retail chains. Methodology/methods: The followi…
